“The level of empowerment, enablement Ruba Borno applies everyday across all organizational levels are the credo of her Leadership style. Her natural and genuine interest of what's happening on "the floor" composes an extremely unique quality appreciated by individual contributors. Ruba is bold about innovation, hungry to get it materialized, natural risk taker to fail fast and/or get it done! She continues demonstrating the qualities of a modern empathetic and gentle Leader in thorough thinking, actions taken, decisions made. That's not all! Ruba is extremely forward looking, strategic in every aspect of the business, envisioning the future states and translating these to tactics applied on a organization. Experiencing this magic has been the privilege of mine. Wszebor Boksa PhD, PMP”
